New Harmony

My last point of interest stop on the tour was New Harmony, Indiana.  Founded in 1818, by the Harmonic Society, it was one of the early attempts at a religious utopia in the US.  They were known for making quality goods like furniture & cloth.  After less the 10 years they moved to Western Pennsylvania, selling true town to a group that tried to create a secular utopia.  That attempt didn't last 3 years.
